Millie Bobby Brown will be sharing the bill with Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden in the Marvel Universe film “The Eternals”, as reported by Variety.

“The Eternals”, the movie adaptation of Jack Kirby’s namesake series of comic books (first published in 1976), should be presented at the next San Diego Comic Con, set to take place from July 18 to 21. The plot will follow cosmic beings with superpowers, the Eternals, who are fighting against their own monstrous offspring, the Deviants.
Thanos, the villain from “Avengers: Endgame”, is part of that same Eternals family, but nothing so far hints at his participation in the as-yet-under-development film’s scenario.
Chinese filmmaker Chloe Zhao, who directed 2017’s “The Rider”, has signed on to direct the feature film. Hayek and Jolie could potentially be cast respectively as Thena and Sersi, according to fansite ComingSoon. The film is slated for release in 2020.
In the meantime, Millie Bobby Brown is shooting “Enola Holmes”, a Sherlock Holmes spin-off in which she is playing the detective’s little sister. The actress, who rose to fame playing Eleven in “Stranger Things”, stars opposite Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin. RGA/JB
